In particular, this invention relates to a method for purifying low purity steviol glycoside compositions to obtain substantially pure steviol glycoside compositions comprising approximately 95% or greater steviol glycosides and approximately 75% or greater rebaudioside A with a single crystallization step. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100278993 | REBAUDIOSIDE A DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS AND METHODS FOR MAKING - Exemplary embodiments of this invention encompass a method for degrading rebaudioside A and the rebaudioside A derivative products derived therefrom. In particular, this invention relates to a method for degrading rebaudioside A compositions to obtain rebaudioside A derivative products suitable for use as sweetener compositions. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110160311 | Sweetness Enhancers, Compositions Thereof, and Methods for Use - Disclosed herein are sweetener compositions comprising at least one sweetener and at least one sweetness enhancer chosen from terpenes (such as sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, and triterpenes), flavonoids, amino acids, proteins, polyols, other known natural sweeteners (such as cinnamaldehydes, selligueians, hematoxylins), secodammarane glycosides, and analogues thereof, wherein the at least one sweetness enhancer is present in the composition in an amount at or below the sweetness detection threshold level of the sweetness enhancer, and the at least one sweetener and the at least one sweetness enhancer are different. Also disclosed herein are methods for enhancing sweetness of a composition, comprising combining at least one sweetener and at least one sweetness enhancer chosen from terpenes (such as sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, and triterpenes), flavonoids, amino acids, proteins, polyols, other known natural sweeteners (such as cinnamaldehydes, selligueians, hematoxylins), secodammarane glycosides, and analogues thereof, wherein the at least one sweetness enhancer is present in the composition in an amount at or below the sweetness detection threshold level of the at least one sweetness enhancer, and the at least one sweetener and the at least one sweetness enhancer are different. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110195161 | SOLUBILITY ENHANCED TERPENE GLYCOSIDE(S) - Disclosed herein are inclusion complexes comprising a substantially pure terpene glycoside and at least one cyclodextrin, wherein the solubility of the inclusion complex is greater than the solubility of the substantially pure terpene glycoside alone. Also disclosed herein are beverage compositions comprising at least one inclusion complex. Further disclosed herein are methods of increasing the solubility of a substantially pure terpene glycoside, comprising combining a substantially pure terpene glycoside with at least one cyclodextrin to form at least one inclusion complex. Still further disclosed herein are methods for improving the taste of an orally ingestible composition and an inclusion complex comprising at least two substantially pure terpene glycoside and at least one cyclodextrin. | 08-11-2011 |
